Family of 97th Hillsborough victim Andrew Devine, who died in July aged 55, 'proud' of Freedom of Liverpool award
The couple also praised Liverpool FC's staff and players for rallying around them.
"Your undies get dirty but the captain of England - a chap by the name of Emlyn Hughes - came in about every third day and took our washing," Mr Devine said.Mr Devine said: "Both always came through the back door. They didn't come for publicity, they came to help."After four years in hospital sitting by his bedside, his parents were finally able to bring their son home.
"Uncle Andrew was just in his chair and our eldest granddaughter said she could tell him all his secrets because she knew he wouldn't tell anybody else."Following Mr Devine's death, his mother said he had been "talked about every day at some stage"."They did say three months was the most for him, well he managed 32 years so I don't think we did too bad," he said.
Liverpool screenwriter Jimmy McGovern, who has described his most important piece of work as his 1996 programme about the Hillsborough disaster, "To be nominated along with Andrew, and to join the other 96 men, women and children whose lives were unlawfully taken away that day at Hillsborough, on that roll of honour is truly humbling," he said.
